Randomly, I will go into the garage and hear a strange noise. It is coming from the interior of my 78. It is a warning buzzer of some sort. However, the keys are out of the car! No, it is not on ACC. If I start the car and then shut it off, the sound goes off. It may or may not come back on at...

Yesterday the power windows decided to quit working again. They do this about 3 times a summer. Everything is working just fine. Then, out of nowhere, they decide to quit working. I have to take the side off the center console (I need to put velcro on it), take the plugs off the window switch...

I have a 78. Last summer, due to lack of space, it spent its time outside. Since it has a leak, I didn't drive it in the rain. I put a garbage bag over the leak area and a cover over the car. That kept it dry. When I put it away last fall, I notice a "rubbing" sound coming from the right...

I put new shocks on the front of my 78 this morning. When I was lowering the jack, after doing the last one, I heard a pop. I looked around underneath and didn't see anything wrong. I drove it around the block. The front end felt MUCH tighter. No wandering at all. The old shocks were easy to...

When I got my 78, it had a 'flexi-tube' going from the air cleaner to the front. It seems like it should go to an air duct. There is no air duct (there are mounting holes though) and I just removed the tube. I was at a Corvette site this morning and saw one for sale. However, it said it was for...

I need the part that attaches to the radiator (and the bolts). I can find the "tube" in the catalogues but not the air funnel itself.

Yesterday I took the Vette out for a drive in the country. Had a lovely drive for hours. No problems. This morning, when I satrt it up to go to work, the wipers came on. I only got them to stop by turning it off. I started again and headed for work. Long story short...I had to stop 3 times and...

Has anyone had any experience with the products from Astro Top? They offer a one-piece top that spans the whole area (~$359), or replacement 2-piece units (~$500)that act like the OEM tops. I was thinking about the one-piece unit, if for no other reason than it would eliminate one potential leak...

I bought another toy and have been informed that the 78 has got to go. It has 68,000 miles. It suffers from the usual maldies for a78...mirror tops cracked (no leaks), A/C not charged (or converted). Had new seats put in it a year ago. New brakes. New brake lines in the rear. New u-joints and...

Can Corvettes use a Line Lock (Staging control) for drag racing? Can anyone recommend a good brand for a 78?

Do you think I can get away with using di-lithium grease (that I use for the slide on my garage door) on the pins that the disk pads slide on? I am going to have the wheels off to flush and refill the diff so I thought I could lube those at the same time.

Well, Ka-ching is still at it. I was (am) experiencing a 'binding - release (best way I can describe it)" noise coming from the left rear. So far I have: 1. Replaced both rear calipers and pads 2. Replaced left front caliper (in case I was mishearing where it was coming from) 3. Replaced wheel...

I had figured out why the reverse lockout wasn't working. The key that went into the the shifter and moved within the gear template was broken off. I couldn't find another one anywhere, so I had a local machinist make one. When I tried to put the unit back together, the new key would not fit...

I have a 1999 Harley Fat Boy (value approx $15,000). A guy I know wants to trade a late model Vette (I believe it to be an 86) for it. The Vette has 4,500 miles (it was stored for a long time). It is red with a white convertible top. The top has some tears in it. It has a spoiler on the rear...
